The Simpler the Better
We built three different AI models to predict the category (frozen, liquid or none) based on polarimetric radar variables. One model was a long-shot model for the purpose of winning the competition (it didn’t). The second was a complex black box model to represent the average learnability of the dataset. The third was a simple, human-readable model that would perform similarly to the above two ...
متن کاملHybrid language models: is simpler better?
The use of several n-gram and hybrid language models with and without cache is examined in the context of producing court transcripts. Language models with cache (in which words which have recently been uttered are preferred) have seen considerable use. The suitability of cache models (with fixed size cache) in the production of court transcripts is not clear. A decrease in perplexity and an im...
متن کاملThe incredible shrinking covariance estimator
Covariance estimation is a key step in many target detection algorithms. To distinguish target from background requires that the background be well-characterized. This applies to targets ranging from the precisely known chemical signatures of gaseous plumes to the wholly unspecified signals that are sought by anomaly detectors. When the background is modelled by a (global or local) Gaussian or ...
متن کاملDetermining the effective dimensionality of the genetic variance-covariance matrix.
Determining the dimensionality of G provides an important perspective on the genetic basis of a multivariate suite of traits. Since the introduction of Fisher's geometric model, the number of genetically independent traits underlying a set of functionally related phenotypic traits has been recognized as an important factor influencing the response to selection. Here, we show how the effective d...
متن کاملAccessing Scientifgic Data: Simpler is Better
A variety of index structures has been proposed for supporting fast access and summarization of large multidimensional data sets. Some of these indices are fairly involved, hence few are used in practice. In this paper we examine how to reduce the I/O cost by taking full advantage of recent trends in hard disk development which favor reading large chunks of consecutive disk blocks over seeking ...
